Details

The Contour bar is ProTaper's best-selling handlebar. Oversize diameter handlebars, without cross bars, were invented, and patented, by ProTaper. This design allows the bar to flex more and absorb impacts better than other bars. This offers the rider more comfort and less fatigue without sacrificing bar strength. The Contour is the most affordable way to get your hands on the most sought after bar design in the world. The Contour handlebar utilizes a computer profiled 5mm wall design and is up to 20% lighter than other bars yet up to 40% stronger.

Made from 5mm, proprietary, 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy for superior tensile and yield strength.

Bought the Sx race bend in orange, was comparable to my stock xcf-w bars. Finish is durable and they feel great. Will update on durability once I crash ;) I always go for protaper on all my bikes over anything else.

Pro Taper "Contour" mini-low bend is perfect for my small stature. I ordered two because I want each of my bikes to feel the same and because I wanted to install the ZRthrottle assembly on both bikes which required a small modification to the throttle end of the bars.

Nicely built, good finish, bar pad is good. Several companies now put centering and allgnment marks to aid putting on the handlebars. A really good idea that did not always used to be there. These bars have those marks.

Very durable, in finish and crashing. They don’t rot in the sun (at least in orange) and they don’t break easily. My bike came with big bars so install was as simple as picking the tallest bars they offered, 6’2” isn’t always easy.

if you're tall and you don't want risers get yourself some Pastrana Benz. It's just the ticket I bent several several bar risers before friend suggested these. Remember you may need additional length on your throttle cable when you get this option.

Really like the bars! They are comfortable and just about the perfect height. I'm 6'2 and with the Windham bend it seems to be just high enough to not be so hunched over, yet short enough that I don't feel like I'm riding a horse.

Only issue was I had to shave down the bars to get my Odi Emig grips to fit.

BEST ANSWER:I believe they're a YZ high bend from Pro Taper, however, I am not 100% positive. There should be a number on your handlebars, like 027967. If you can find that number printed on the handlebar I might be able to cross reference it for you.

if your bike came with 7/8th inch renthals you would need adapters to use the pro taper contours, the bends listed under the size option are more of a rider preference, check on the protaper web site they have a chart that describes the bends, also you can cut the ends off if you need them to be narrower.

I haven't bent my protapers yet but one time they looked crooked and I thought that they were bent but they only needed the clamp loosened and then re adjusted.

BEST ANSWER:Well I believe these bars are a high bend and also a touch narrower than factory. I ride them with a 30mm riser and I love them. I see no reason for them to not perform on a track whether indoor or outdoor. I race Enduro and it's everything to tight trees to wide open. These bars are also incredibly strong. I have had several wrecks at speed and no problems. I recommend them to anyone who rides regardless of riding style. Hope this helps.

I have run these on both motocross tracks and hare scrambles (desert racing). I have had no issues with them. They seem to absorb vibration better than non-tapered bars. The next step up would probably be Flexx bars but you could replace these several times over for the cost of those. Hope this helps, Harold C.

Yes these bars are tough and resist bendin in a bad crash you just need to find the bend that mimics the bend of the bars you are currently using, that is if you like the current bars you are riding with. These bars are a lot stronger than stock bars.

We replaced our skinny bar with this fat bar and we love it. It sets higher making it easier to balance whilst standing. And it definitely has been abused and no bending. Great handlebar. We normally do hill climbs and aggressive trail riding.

BEST ANSWER:yes it comes with a new pad and pad cover with every bar made by protaper, and i believe the EVO bars come with a newer 2.0 version bar pad. you can also buy pads and custom covers separately if you have money you want to waste

BEST ANSWER:Yes, As long as you have 1 1/8" clamps or universal clamps. However I think the kx's come with 7/8" bars and clamps. look for the Y shaped bars if that's the case rather than the flat type.

BEST ANSWER:They will fit only if you get the big bar clamp kit or assembly and you may not be able to use the stock bar plastic cover. I got the trail tech assembly for my 06 450er with these. Works great but use loc tight, Honda lock or similar with aftermarket kits

Will 1.25 pro taper bars be good with adv stuff like gps ram mounts etc,?

BEST ANSWER:depends where you plan on adding the accessories. This bars have to taper from 1:1/8in to 7/8in so it's doubtful that you could utilize that area to mount accessories. I would stick to 7/8in bars for your needs.

I have an 06 yz250f, I bought it with Renthal twin wall bars. so my hand controls mount to a 7/8" bar correct? my handguards are for a 1-1/8" so after the twin wall starts its at 1-1/8" do I need to upgrade my perches etc to mount the brake and clutch and a new throttle tube?

BEST ANSWER:You do not need to change the perches for your hand controls. The bars are 1 1/8 in the center when they mount to your bike, so those mounts should be 1 1/8. The bars slim down to being 7/8 for your hand controls though, so they take stand clutch, brake, and throttle tubes.

All of your controls will swap over from the renthal bars to the pro trader and fit fine.The bars are only 1 1/8" at the triple clamp, where the bars bolt to the bike. From there the bars taper down to a normal 7/8" at the ends.

2018 250sx I would like the highest bend for it. What bend would that be? And if I cut 1/8 inch on each side would the lock on grips work?

BEST ANSWER:Protaper has a chart on their website comparing the measurement of the different bends. The highest would be the Pastrana FMX bend, but it is VERY high. I love the CR high bend. You have to be very carful cutting these bars down, as the diameter increase toward the center and some controls/grips may not fit if you cut too much off.

I got the ProTaper 1-1/8 bar in CR high bend; good for standing. I cut 1/2 inch off each side and the controls would not fit. I would be careful about cutting the bar down - mount it as is first, put your controls on, and see if you can shorten the bar without ruining the control set up...

Which bend is recommended for a taller rider that likes both desert and motocross riding?

BEST ANSWER:There is a "high" bar that would probably work well. An even better option to me would be to figure out which bend you like regardless of height and then add handlebar risers - best of both worlds. I love the RM mid bend, it's perfect for woods and I suspect it would fare just fine on the track.

This may not fit your riding I am 6-5 and I put ATV hi on my 2 bikes. I ride desert/ extreme technical and Snow with them. This way I can straighten my back when standing, which I do 85% of the time riding.

BEST ANSWER:Not sure - go to the ProTaper and Renthal websites - they have schematics that show measurement - you have height/widt/sweep/countour(i I think that's what it's called - it's the angle of the bend). But there you can see how they measure - you can measure yours (allowing for assumed bend in your bars if broken) and match up. Unless you want really high bars or really low bars, most of them are going to be in the middle. -u will see on the schematic.

BEST ANSWER:Not really sure because I bought mine for a 2015 YFZ450R. You would need to find out if you have 7/8 inch bar clamps or 1 1/8 clamps. From there you just figure out how high of a bend you would like. I recommend going on Pro Tapers website to figure out what the bar dimensions are.

BEST ANSWER:Work as in fit? It depends if your clamps are designed to take a “fat bar” which is the diameter of the part where it mounts at the base. The part where the grips and controls is the same for all the bars.After that, it’s about size - height, sweep and bend....for that you can go to the Pro-Taper web site. Renthal has a similar bar and also has measurments. This is all about personal preference.

Buy bar clamp adapter and it will fit, call pro taper and they tell you what bend it’s good for you, trx450r 7/8 from factory this is 1 1/8 you need adapters, i have houser plus 1 with houser bar clamp i can use 7/8 or 1 1/8 with that clamp

BEST ANSWER:If everything is stock on your bike they will not. But if you have a big bar adapter already then you can get these to fit on your machine. All dirt bikes come stock with a 7/8" bar. Hopefully this helps.
